I've just committed 19773, which fixes this bug. As the fix is rather
trivial I'd like someone who knows that code to have a look at it and
verify that it doesn't have any negative side effects before I close the
bug.

Here it comes:

Please let me know whether the fix is OK so I may close the bug (I know that
it fixes the sample capture attached to 1043).

Ciao

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
